So we finally made it out to Fire Island. Living in the city for so many years we have heard about Fire Island so many times but never ended up going.
On this gorgeous day essentially the end of the summer we finally got our asses to Fire Island.
We left early in the morning to Grand Central to catch the LIRR. We finally arrived there around probably 10am and the weather started warming up.
In the beginning it was kind of grey and windy but it ended up being so warm and sunny. The sun felt amazing! Being at Fire Island was such an experience because it was super super gay friendly. This couple sat like 8 feet away from us which was pretty close considering how much space there was on the beach and totally stripped down naked! It was so amazing and I felt so free and open to be gay with my baby sitting next to me.
For the first half of the day we stayed at Cherry Grove which was more chill and laid back. For the latter part of the day we walked over to The Pines and found that it was a little more chelsea feeling. A little more crowded and a sexier crowd.
We did a little stroll through what they call the meat rack which was a little trail that guys walk on and pick each other up and I guess have sex? It was intense walking through having boys totally cruise you with laser beam eyes!
We had such a blast and towards the end of the day around maybe sixish we decided to head home. It seemed like that was around the time the party got started but for us drinking and all of that stuff is not really our thing.
Overall we had such an amazing time and definitely will be visiting fire island more often.
